interesting... but a bit misleading?

For what I know about the subject, psychedelic 'therapy' is not meant to be revelatory or unearthing, like to 'uncover more details' about ones' childhood, to 'understand' the reasoning of why parents acted a certain way etc., I think the documentary has been a bit misleading in these regards, and I'm surprised the therapists seem to have raised such expectations in the patients.

Psychedelic drugs when used in psychotherapy often allow to find a new perspective on things, take away fear and inhibitions to confront the past or sensitive topics, and that is it what allows for new developments.

Anyway, a very interesting documentary, we need to get back to explore and re-evaluate the potentials of psychedelic therapy, highly valuable research that was stopped when Nixon declared 'war on drugs'.
